Iron Man

Looking back on it, it's hard to figure that we didn't view this injury as an evil portent at the time. But now it seems more like a story of heroic perseverance through adversity.

Morstead is believed to have played the entire 2010 season with the left shoulder ailment, one he suffered in the Saints' first preseason game at New England when, in the first quarter, Morstead tackled Patriots return man Julian Edelman.


Perhaps playing him at guard wasn't such s great idea after all.

Update: ESPN names Thomas Morstead the NFC South's top punter for 2011.
